“The re-election of Arif Hasan vice president is not only an achievement for Arif but it is an achievement for all of the country,” Asif said.

Arif Hasan has been re-elected for the post for the third time.

“The re-election of Arif Hasan for the successive third time is something we all should be proud of,” Asif added.

Asif further praised Arif for helping merited players to get to the top level.

“We all hope that Arif will continue to support merited players and help federations to promote their respective sport in the country,” Asif said.

Asif said that Arif played instrumental role in helping softball players of Pakistan to feature in international events.

“It was Arif Hasan, who helped us meet former International Softball Federation (ISF) President Don Porter and current President Dale McMann and Secretary Low Beng Choo. That helped us very much in promoting the game of softball in Pakistan as the international officials of the game extended a helping hand for us,” he stressed.

“It also helped our national teams to participate in more international tournaments than before,” he added.

Asif further said that SFP will soon be holding a reception ceremony in honour of Arif Hasan and will also give him Excellence Performance Award on the occasion.
